OK i finally got a working MacOS 8 floppy with dnet on it. I figured I had it for sure this time (Since everything was perfect when I was using 7.1 except dnet gave me an error that it needed 8.0 to work). Well it boots up my Centris 610 and even dnet boots, but it run for between 1 and 4 seconds, even teh text starts scrolling about 1 processor found, then it quits itself. Always. Everytime. Can someone please help me out with this?! In case you haven't figured it out, I'm trying to make a Floppy that will boot a 68K, with internet access, and run dnet. I seem to have succeeded. I have everything you need, even internet, dnet just doesn't wanna run!

Sorry, no insight here, except that you're likely not going to get more than 20 or 25 W/U's a day out of a Centris 610. I've thought about building an RC5 cluster out of my Centris 610, Performa 630 and Quadra 950, since they're sitting idle but are still totally usable computers. Still doubt I'd get more than 60 or 70 W/U's a day out of that, though, so it's kind of pointless.

Its not really about the number of units, its about bring old computer back to life. Besides, it only takes one right key to win.
